Hmm, that might be one way to do it, but I was really hoping to be able to learn the actual process that is happening. From what I can tell, it is similar to image distortion in photoshop. I've seen the morphing programs that calculate the "triangles" and "quadrilaterals" between the "dots" placed on the picture.
My question is how do I distort the picture? From my imagination, I look a the two polygons as a mapping of the pixels of the picture. Then, I simply need to calculate which pixel corresponds to which mapping to create the distortion. How do I do pixel mapping from one picture, using the geometry to determine what pixel from the source to use with the geometry from the other? Perhaps I sound a bit confused... because I am. - Ryan Dary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On May 10, 2007, at 23:14 UTC, Ryan Dary wrote: > >> Does anyone know a good morphing algorithm that they'd share?
